Description
The device is manufactured using high voltage multi-epitaxial planar technology for high switching speeds and high voltage capability. It uses a cellular emitter structure with planar edge termination to enhance switching speeds while maintaining the wide RBSOA. The STN83003 is expressly designed for a new solution to be used in compact fluorescent lamps, where it is coupled with the STN93003, its complementary
PNP transistor.
